It's a new wiring loom for the whole car. The one that was in it was just a mess and nothing labeled. It could of been sorted out but by the time you do that it's not worth the hassle. At least now its all new and no problems and 12V. The new loom is all labeled and easy to install. It was from "speedway" in the states its a Hotrod shop. The kit is a universal. I think it was about $150. I did also have to but a reducer just for the wiper motor as its only 6V.

Just buy a new one and then you know it's all new and no problems.

It's defentaly worth shopping around for parts. I have saved heaps just by ringing around. Some places will do a better price if you get a bunch of stuff from them.

Just a few pictures to update you all on the build progress.

I had the rear tray sand blasted and a few other small areas on the car that were rusty. It came up a treat. 95% of the wiring is in and working so just need to finish up on that. Put the engine in to test fit and mount the external oil cooler, oil filter, fuel pump etc. I will take it back out so the the engine bay can be painted. Test fitted the new rear tail lights. Not a standard tail light for a bus but i like them. I have put a gear box and swing arms from a IRS beetle in and the IRS kit is in just need to put in the new rear axels to suit and then it can be hooked back up.

Cheers Ryan

I haven't been on here for a while to update my progress been to busy. to bring you up to date with the build this is what has happened over the past of months.

# All the pannel work has been completed (MASSIVE JOB!!) The front and rear bar have been shaved and the front bar has been tucked also.
# A narrow beam has been installed
# The engine bay has been cleaned and stripped and then painted.
# The engine has been installed and started

# The wiring is at 95% complete
# The car has been painted in a flat grey.

There is a bunch of other stuff that has been going on but I'm sure you get the idea.. I haven't had time to scratch my ars really! I will put up some pics so you can see whats going on.

Enjoy!
